1 Decision at Last. Sustaining the
Settlers In the Boise Military
Reservation Case.
The President Declines the st, Louis
Invitation, and the Citisens
There I'm q White
Heat.


Noe0s
WASHINGTON, July THE Assistant
Secretary OF the Interior to-day rendered
a decision in the Fort Boise, Idaho, mill
tary reservation case. which is importan,
as involving the question of tho right of q
resident to put in reservation public lands,
not authorized by the act OF Congress-
The case briefly stated is as follows: On
April 9. 1870, the President made q reser.
vation OF $40 acres for Fort Boise, Idaho,
afterwards on September 16. 1874 he put
n the reservation the 5S7 acres adjoining
for the purposes OF said Fort. On April
10, 1884, the military authorities trans
of the Secretary ofthe Interior for disposal.
In 1885 certain settlers.
WENT ON THE LATTER
tract and applied to take up under the
homestead laws. The Commissioner OF
the General Land Office rejected their
claims on the ground that the land was
held in reservation.
SECRETARY LAMAR IN HIS DEC1sloN
reverses that decision and awards the land
to the settlers. The decision is based on
the act of February IA, 1850, which
limits the amount that may be reserved
for the purposes of fort to $40 acres.
The Secretary holds that the President
had no authority to put in a reservation
an amount greater than that provided by
Congress; that any excess over that
is subject to the disposal
of the general land laws notwith-
the order declaring the reservation
enlarged.
